  • How do you go about posting more negative or critical reviews?

    I always struggle with this. If I don’t like a book, I either soften my thoughts too much or avoid posting altogether because I feel bad. I never want to tear down authors or hurt anyone’s feelings, but at the same time sometimes a book is just bad or doesn't work for you and that’s okay.

    So how do you go about it? How do you phrase criticism in a way that feels fair but not mean?

  • Novellas in Yearly Reading Goal

    Do you guys ever feel bad about reading a novella and seeing your yearly reading count go up? I started thinking about it when I read some of the Amazon Prime Original novellas for Valentine’s this year. I’m at my best reading year to date thanks to connecting to audiobooks for the first time and these novellas, but sometimes I feel like it’s not valid. Like I should count all of the novellas as 1 book to compensate for the fact that a 500-pg novel is also being counted the same. I’ve felt the same about graphic novels and manga in the past—it’s not like I’m not reading, they’re just shorter form content, but I still wondered if anyone had similar feelings.

  • What book are you scared to read?

    For me, I’ve been wanting to read The Count of Monte Cristo since I visited Marseille and Château d’If but the page count intimidates me…it’s much longer than what I typically read, it feels daunting to take on such a huge book.

    I can't resist fairy tale retellings, and I really liked the story. Being told from an "outside perspective" (meaning not Snow of the queen) brought a much different take to this classic story, and I'm here for it. I wasn't the biggest fan of how Anja and Javier acted like shy, bumbling teenagers around each other though. Surely by 35 they would be over it.

    This was pretty much their videos in book format, so I'm not complaining. It's a compilation of bite-sized science facts that really do answer some of the world's weirdest questions.

  • *your hold is ready to be borrowed*

    How many Libby (or other various library options) holds are you currently waiting on??? (Curious to see if anyone panic holds every book ever just for them to be suspended for weeks… currently at 24🫢)

  • for people who log books they read for school/uni work

    what status do you set for them if you’ve only read one chapter or a few parts? or would it just not count at all if that’s the case?
